  • By the way, what kind of education do you think is necessary to be able to compose or transcribe such music? I can play piano up to concert level, and I know all the musical scales, but I just learned them mechanically and scarcely understand what music even is. So I guess my question is, can you recommend a course of study to get to where you are? You should impart your wisdom!

  • @MrRabastan Sure. I have trouble explaining how I create my covers. It honestly comes really naturally. I do have perfect pitch which is the main engine for my covers, I can tell almost every note/chord in a song and mimic it on the piano. I do try to 'sing' the melody on the piano and really play the song as if it were written for the piano. If you have perfect pitch and have a strong classical background (see my Chopin Ballade video) then with creativity you can make covers similar to my style

  • I read every comment, don't worry. Thanks for all the amazing words and encouragement guys, it keeps me going.

  • your playing has really come along over the years.

  • @dylanw26 thank you

  • Nice to see you are putting that perfect pitch to good use!

  • You just made my brain explode! I can't get enough! You are amazing!

  • @MrRabastan I have the same problem. I have a strong classical background, I also attended a harmony and musical theory course and got a very good grade in the examination. But I'm still not able to do such covers. I think it's all about the perfect pitch - if you got it you're fucking lucky otherwise you have to find another way. You can improve a lot practicing, I tried it on myself. As "returnthisserve7" said first you have to find the melody of the song and the chords and then you add stuff.

  • Very good.

    

  • How is there a dislike on this song? This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

  • I look forward to a new video from you all of the time! I do a little fan girl squeal whenever I see a new one. This is definitely one of my favorites. You're absolutely amazing. And what a coincidence I was just playing this one out on my cello!

  • Dude! I'm still up watching you're videos one after another. It's almost 1am & I have to get up @ 5am. It's like you laced your videos with crack! I can quit whenever I want.

  • jaw dropping stuff, keep it up man.
